Not sure.  On my bike the rear wheel seems to be in the same track as the
front wheel.  I checked this with straight edges on either side of the rear
tire and then checking the gap on either side of the front tire (since it's
skinnier than the rear).  Gaps were equal.  And the front wheel is centered
in the forks which are centered on the frame.  So how then is the rear will
offset to the left.  Is the subframe not symmetrical?  I just can't make
sense of it.  Right so probably doesn't matter in the end as long as the
bike seems to handle fine.  I'm just curious why it was designed that way.
